Quotes

"I am persuaded that historical inquiry is a useful and necessary procedure but that theological reading is the reading of a text, and not the reading of a source, which is how historians read it. Historical inquiry, while telling
us many useful things, does not tell us how we are to understand the text as texts." ^
